synopsis
Controversial Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing is the focus of this engaging portrait. His theories and books changed the way that we think about mental illness. Laing rejected Freudian theories, and in the process, he developed a different type of therapy. This lively film draws on Laing's own experiences as well as those of his patients to explain his theories on human instincts and repression.
